My daugher and I both have iPods and share the same iMac as different users.
How do we access each others' music libraries? I'd love to have some of her stuff on my iPod, and vice-versa, but reloading the same CDs seems like it'd be overkill and unnecessary.
Thanks in advance...
Mike

The easiest thing would be to put your music in /Users/Shared/Music, and then symlink your own music directory to that directory. Then make that directory owned by the group "staff" and writable by the group. Sync your music in that directory manually from the two sources, and then sync the iPods fresh. Should work great.

You could try making and alias of your iTunes Music folder on your daugher's user... i've never done this, but it could work.
